Augmentin and yeast infections
Common Questions and Answers about Augmentin and yeast infections
augmentin
What kind of soap do you use some soaps are too strong and cause yeast infections. Zest will I know and shower gels as well like the kind from bath and body works. Scrunchies can transmit yeast infections if you unknowingly used one during a yeast infection. Also if you have a single partner it is possible that it's being transmitted back and forth constantly being sent back and forth
Unknowingly. If that is the case your partner should be treated too.
it was back and this time it went straight to dry inflamed mode. Augmentin did not help. In fact from all the augmentin I got yeast and/or BV. I was given flagyl which worked for 2 weeks then it all came back with a vengeance. I didn't just have vaginal inflammation but ulcerated sores in my rectum as well. I'm still suffering from that as medications didn't make it completely go away.
Because I had been previously diagnosed (and treated with 1000mg Amoxicillin three times daily) with a sinus and left ear infection about a month earlier he suspected that I could possibly have some type of resistant sinusitus and prescribed Augmentin XR (1000 mg) 2 pills twice a day. I had oral sex again with the asymptomatic guy again on 4/11. I was informed by the guy who developed gonorrhea of all this today, 4/14, and have not had sex with him since before his symptoms began.
I have re-occuring yeast infections and cannot find out why. My doctor just said that I have so much up in there.I have been tested for lots of other things and all test came back clear. I can take something for it and it will go away, at least I think it does. But it comes back in like a month or so. So I know a little of what your wife is going through. I even thought that I was diabetic since that comes with diabetes.But I have no other symptoms of diabetes.
-Second myringotomy and adenoidectomy at 16 months. Very infected sinus cavities and ears. 10 day run of Augmentin and 6 day run of antibiotic ear-drops post-op.
-Second myringotomy was due to complete 'plugging' of both tubes and continuing ear infections.
-RAST test showed Level 2 Egg White Allergy (all egg products removed from diet).
-1 day off post-antibiotic (11 days post-op): fever, effusion from ear, green sinus drainage.
you need to be seen today or tomorrow and get a proper exam done. they can also test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too. augmentin is reknown for causing vaginal yeast but certainly get seen and if they feel that anything looks like herpes, they can do a lesion culture and typing.
have you ever been tested for hsv2 to know your status? do your partners get tested?
The dyflucan was supposed to also re stabilize my stomach bacteria because I was having horrible stomach cramps possibly due to the augmentin and the yeast infection apparently. Weeks passed and my stomach cramps subsided but not the issue with my penis. The same symptoms are still there and I am now on a prescription strength cream known as Oxistat. I have been on this for over a week now with no noticeable signs of it clearing up.
My Dr has treated me with Metronidazole- brand name used was flagyl Nylstatin for yeast, clamycin,spandnox (for yeast), and recently had some relief with Augmentin(which was prescribed for a chest infection). When i was on augmentin all the above symptoms went away however came back 1 or 2 days after i came off the anti biotic.
If you took augmentin, and it cleared up for you, it was a UTI and not an STI.
You bought her clotrimazole? That's medication for a yeast infection, which can happen for lots of reasons, and is also not an STI.
Your wife is pregnant, though, and I understand why you are worried. After you've been off the augmentin for 3 weeks, test for all STIs to be able to put this behind you.
so I took my STD test but before I got the result I panicked thinking of gonorrhea or syphilis and took Augmentin for 3 days. Now the tests are all negative but considering the window period for some STD, should I finish taking Augmentin as a precaution to get rid of the possible infection? Thank you.
Look into Candida, yeast overgrowth. Symptoms fit and the history of antibiotics, ear infections, AND allergies all point towards candida. In fact, I would put money on it. If I were you, I would read the book "The Yeast Connection". It really gets into the cycle that antibiotics create and how it allows the candida to grow and create the problems that doctors once again treat with antibiotics.
I got a yeast/bacterial infection after 10 days Augmentin (I also have Atrophic Vaginitis) so I went in to get an exam and started discussing my husband having an affair within the last 18 months. He said there was no sexual encounter, however the physician decided to do testing as a baseline. My HSV 1 was 43.10 and my HSV 2 was 1.2. I have never had any female infections or issues (we have been together for 30+ yrs). However, since October of 2015, I have had 2 UTI's and now this infection.
Yes I took antibiotics several times throughout my pregnancy and even in my first trimester. I had a serious problem with vaginosis and then yeast infections because of the antibiotics. It was a vicious circle.

Hi, Im 48 and until recently very healthy (professional choreographer). 2 yrs ago got an acute kidney infection ( high fever, blood in pee, the works) which was treated with augmentin. since then, I keep getting less acute infections and they come back every 3 months. Low fever, very tired, abdominal swelling (a lot), back pain, urine strips show white blood cells and protein and occasionally nitrates.
During culture it would be worthwhile to test for yeast infections also besides bacterial infections. Viral infections are by exclusion and do not need any antibiotic therapy unless there are super added infections. Viral infections are known to cause canker sores. The antibiotic of choice for a streptococcal infection is penicillin.
However, repeated strep throat infections are an indication for tonsillectomy.
Discuss these options with your consulting doctor.
Has anyone had multiple yeast/BV infections? I've had 3 so far and I think I'm having another! I'm going to ob tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get some meds. It's frustrating. Anyone Else?!?! Please help.

I've heard you can take monistat for a yeast infection. But I would talk to your doctor first. Treatment for a yeast is different than bacterial, and you should make sure you don't have any other complications before starting something.
Dear Doctor,
Here is my situation, i was diagnosed with chlamydia two months ago.
The cause should be from one of these three scenario:
(1) I have unprotected sex 2 years and 10 months ago. I undergo HIV test and it's negative.
(2) I have protected and unprotected sex with my partner. We are still together since 1 year and 10 months ago.
(3) I have protected vaginal sex and protected oral sex, fingering with a social sex worker .
I used to get yeast infections every time I had intercourse. The only way I was able to stop this from happening was by douching with a vinegar and water rinse right after having sex. It was a major inconvenience but it definitely stopped the ongoing yeast infections. And on those occasions when I was too "lazy" or "relaxed" to get up and douche, the infection would return without fail. A vinegar douche really does help, but it is a major "mood disrupter.
You cant have vaginal sex and then go right to anal sex or vice versa. Its not healthy and it brings bacteria. The yeast infection you probably had, but had sex with your husband anyways before getting treated and then you keep passing to each other. That happened with me and BF. But...if you have no signs of a yeast infection, then your husband is the one that needs to go to the doctor to get medicine to clear it up.
